Google, Microsoft, Nokia and Whatsapp three buts and a bargain - The País.com (Spain)

Week

heat and accounts. Of pros and cons. Three large, Nokia, Google and Microsoft, have submitted their quarterly accounts and the three have spread the best of them, while analysts have highlighted their buts. As it should be.

Microsoft has been left

1,800 million in losses in its business on line since 2005, but are a necessary loss. If after that jet money alone has 17% of Internet searches (Bing), almost nothing on advertising online and less on the phones, which have been without that investment. It has also lost 900 million per tablet Surface, and in just six months. To sell at $ 500 to about 300. The same: continue pouring money into these businesses to sprout some day. So far the tablet with no brand presence among consumers, but your operating system advances thanks to manufacturers like Acer or Asus tablets oncorporan what their models. Money to spare in spades, only in the last quarter earned 3.786 million euros. Even the drop in sales of computers, source of income for your windows, seem to affect: have entered into that chapter 5%.

Google

action to $ 1000 will have to wait, despite winning 2.463 million euros in three months, 16% more than a year ago. For analysts of Wall Street, is not sufficient. You pay less for their click advertising, the source of 96% of their business, and soon it will justify their incomes rise

Microsoft with its Windows Mobile goes from less to more, Nokia moves in the opposite direction, but is less evil, according to CEO Elop. He continues his journey through the desert in a storm. Lumia sells more than ever, as Elop proclaimed triumphantly, as if there was a story behind decades when only been two years. His record accounts for 3% of all global sales of smartphones , very far from the 45% that Nokia had in 2007, when he placed 500 million phones annually. Today suspera in half.

side of Nokia is that its losses have fallen by 80% compared to last year. The downside, is declining in mobile sales in both basic (39%) and smartphones (25%). No expensive phones or phones sold cheap. It has been almost three years since Elop decided to disregard their own operating systems, Symbian and MeeGo, to embrace his former Microsoft with Windows Phone. Now it is seen that Microsotf operation begins to do well; Nokia, for now, no.

Among so many billions of dollars, just one, just one, to move the world. It’s what the kids call Whatsapp to continue his great application, and some still are derecognised. Then cry when you disappear for lack of resources. The bargain, no doubt, is Whatsapp. A dollar will begin to charge people to download the application in the iPhone as is already done in other platforms. They are kept separate, but stalked by operators as Joyn services, Line or Kakao.

Next week Apple and Google we promise big headlines. On Tuesday, the company run by Tim Cook will present spectacular quarterly accounts, according to Morgan Stanley, include iPhone sales higher than expected by analysts. iSuppli says otherwise: even sold more than the previous year, growth will be below the industry average. The iPad Mini will hit,

The next day, Wednesday, Google announced a new generation of tablet Nexus 7 and probably the Moto X, the new smartphone of Motorola, with which he intends to lift the company that bought ago a year and that, for now, only brings huge losses (325 million in the last quarter). Not physically active and works for voice commands. After that, Google will be able to go on vacation, but not quiet. will be difficult to get rid of the fine in Brussels, which can reach 4,000 million.
